Carlos Vaz Ferreira
Carlos Vaz Ferreira was a prominent Uruguayan philosopher and educator, known for his advocacy of educational reform and the importance of understanding education as a means to nurture responsible citizenship, rather than merely a pathway to higher education. As a former dean of Secondary Education at the University of the Republic, he emphasized the need for an inclusive educational framework that supports the diverse needs of students. His influential ideas challenged traditional educational practices, arguing that examinations create unnecessary barriers to learning and that education should foster individual exploration and development.
